Nano-CuI catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of phenols with nitroarenes was written by Xu, Xiaolan;Feng, Teng;He, Jianbo;Xu, Huajian. And the article was included in Youji Huaxue in 2016.COA of Formula: C15H14O3 This article mentions the following:
A general and efficient method for the synthesis of diaryl ethers, e. g., I, via nano-CuI catalyzed coupling reaction of phenols with nitroarenes was developed. The efficiency of this reaction was demonstrated by its compatibility with a range of functional groups in good to excellent yields. The catalyst could be recycled for three times without significant loss of the catalytic activity. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 1-(4-(4-Methoxyphenoxy)phenyl)ethanone (cas: 54916-28-8COA of Formula: C15H14O3).
1-(4-(4-Methoxyphenoxy)phenyl)ethanone (cas: 54916-28-8) belongs to ethers. Ether is less polar than esters, alcohols or amines because of the oxygen atom that is unable to participate in hydrogen bonding due to the presence of bulky alkyl groups on both sides of the oxygen atom. Ethyl ether is an excellent solvent for extractions and for a wide variety of chemical reactions. It is also used as a volatile starting fluid for diesel engines and gasoline engines in cold weather. Dimethyl ether is used as a spray propellant and refrigerant. Methyl t-butyl ether (MTBE) is a gasoline additive that boosts the octane number and reduces the amount of nitrogen-oxide pollutants in the exhaust. The ethers of ethylene glycol are used as solvents and plasticizers.COA of Formula: C15H14O3
